After working for family as a traditional windy then 2 years went out on my own i have decided i will be going wfp, i always said i wouldnt, but came to realise i am running a buissness to make money and wfp is quicker so i would be a fool not to have it

also now i have a little girl i dont fancy having to sit in a wheel chair with out a pot to p in as a result of a fall, so over the next 2 months i will be putting aside a fund for a set up

who do you lot get your stuff from i want to buy the parts and install my self
also think i will need about 400 litre what ro would be abble to produce this amount as want a static tank in the garden,

still need ya ladders woody.i have my single pointer and 3.5 metre trade ladders for windows above very large extensions and i still trad my granny flats!

also they come in handy for opening locked gates and up and over flat roof garages!

some days i dont use them at all and mostly on the others i only use them once or twice!

best wishes

you dont need ladders at all,

using a decent pole not some crappy fibreglass gxtel and you can clean windows above extensions and flat roofs,

I've told my customers now i do not climb onto flat roofs or over gates or anything else that involves ladder work, had no problems at all,  its more profitable too

i gave away work to a local trad cleaner which needed ladders up and over garage etc,

[woody1]

i dont mind using them to get on flat roofs but when up there do you trad them or wfp them as i have a few like that

[mci services]

i trad them

Good on ya woody.

No you want require ladders anymore. - maybe a set of steps.  just to give you a bit of height and angle over flat roofs.

i did all mine diy - everything is pretty straightforward to fit and connect up.

depending on the cash you want to spend go for SLX ( 25 minimum ) or CLX and to be honest if you are ordering from gardiners for the pole get a tank (400 ltr) as prices are pretty much the same where ever you go.

Window cleaning warehouse seems good for most bits as well ---   reel, pump ro unit.

I use a merlin RO - fills the 400 ltr tank up in under 4 hours ( But i do use a pump to boost pressure )

decide on what you need not what you would like - and search the forum for good advice.

ladders are good in winter some times better on them;
water freezing all over the place;
kit breaks down up the creek no ladders to fall back on
crash van system in it up the creek

been involved with window cleaning since 1970 dont know of any cleaner whos been seriously injured or left in a wheelchair,use your common sense and ladders are safe,start rushing to earn more and then you will have an accident
